Social
media
seems
to
have
taken
a
turn
for
the
worse
in
the
past
few
months.
Many
have
observed
increased
toxicity
on
social
media
platforms,
and
Bollywood
celebrities
have
become
targets
of
abuse
and
hate,
especially
in
the
aftermath
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
Actor
Shikha
Talsania
opened
up
about
dealing
with
trolls
and
being
fat
shamed
on
social
media.
"There
have
been
times
when
I
thought
of
logging
out
and
taking
a
break
from
social
media.
Or
I
thought
of
switching
my
comments
off
to
avoid
all
the
negativity
being
thrown
at
me,
but
I've
not
done
any
of
that
yet,"
she
said,
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
She
further
explained
that
if
she
is
on
social
media,
she
cannot
keep
the
negativity
away
because
the
trolls
become
rampant.
However,
she
chooses
to
focus
on
love
that
comes
her
way.
"Some
days
I
react,
some
days
I
don't
feel
like
reacting
to
it,
some
days
I
block
it
to
restrict
the
negativity,
someday
I
engage
with
it.
So,
it
depends
on
the
day
and
my
mood.
But
for
sure
I
don't
let
this
negativity
bog
me
down.
I
think
more
important
things
to
focus
in
my
life
than
all
this.
Everyone
has
their
way
of
dealing
with
it,
I
have
mine.
I
never
let
this
toxicity
affect
my
mind
space," she
said.
Talking
about
how
social
media
is
a
new
phenomenon
and
proper
conduct
is
yet
to
evolve,
Shikha
said,
"I
think
we're
actually
in
a
different
phase
right
now
and
still
learning
about
social
media.
Sometimes,
many
of
us
fail
to
understand
how
our
words
and
expressions
are
offensive
and
might
affect
people
around
us.
But
slowly,
given
all
the
talks
that
are
happening,
we'll
hopefully
understand
and
get
somewhere.
I
also
think
while
engaging
with
the
trolls
more
than
calling
them
off
and
saying
you
are
awful,
we
can
try
reasoning
things
with
them
as
well."
Celebrities
like
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Sonam
Kapoor,
Saqib
Saleem
and
others
have
also
been
raising
their
voice
against
social
media
bullying
in
recent
times.
